    Stand for HF porta Band Saw?

    I know, I really wish there was one for sale. The throat is almost the same size as their stand alone one (the smaller one, not the big one). Only diff I can see is the stationary ones have a bigger motor. It has given me the cleanest, quickest cut of any cutting method I have used so far...

    So let's talk welding helments.....

    Went through the whole thread. This looks really promising. 3 things: 1) jaw fatigue? sometimes I have to do a fair amount of grinding, fitting, or whatever. How long have you held the visor open? Anyone else have experience? 2) glass clarity. Everyone is saying the expensive ones are very...

    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    The casters for the dollies rated at 1000lbs (250lb/caster) look cheap & weak up against some Colson casters that are rated for less. I think the Colson casters have a sizeable safety factor whereas the HF ones probably are right on 1. Maybe. Hopefully. That put some proper fear in me. Just...

    Can garage door panels be bought alone? Save cash?

    Hi Cobbler. Good to see someone local here. I would normally think that too, but so far doesn't seem to be the case. Just not adding up.

    Can garage door panels be bought alone? Save cash?

    Ah, ok. 'Sections' then. For my 9'W x 7'H doors, that's 4 sections/door. That's what I was thinking. track, torsion spring & assembly, opener are already in place. Got new rollers. Just want better panels (err, sections). Just so long as they are not very scratch & denty. How bad are the...

    Can garage door panels be bought alone? Save cash?

    Was just fixing up my garage door -- Hardware and door opener are fine. Want the insulation mostly (wood now) . Low maintenance clean look is bonus. The panels are so basic; finished sheet steel bent to shape with styrofoam in them. Must be somewhere you can get them alone for less...

    The Harbor Freight PASS/FAIL Thread...

    I think it will. Probably longer. There's nothing in the manual about duty cycle. The only reason I didn't let it run non-stop was because the pool water was dirty and the pump could have clogged. I went 8 hours at a time with no issue.

    Water Pump #65836 http://www.harborfreight.com/portable-utility-pump-65836.html PASS I call it the mighty-mite. Just finished pumping out about 3/4 of my 28,000 gallon pool. I did it in bursts over a while but I saw no reason I couldn't have had it go 24/7 in one shot. I think the heat at...
